Although the majority of our students complete their degrees at SLIIT those who wish to do so have the option of transferring to any of the SLIIT overseas partner universities after completing two or two and a half years’ of study to graduate from one of our partner universities in Australia, United Kingdom, United States and Canada.

We place great emphasis on the quality of our education. In addition to recruiting and retaining highly qualified and experienced academic staff, we continuously enhance our teaching learning environment and improve the curricula to ensure the high standards of our academic programmes. We also offer a number of programmes designed to develop the soft skills of our students and conduct industry certified professional development programmes in collaborating with Microsoft, IBM and CISCO systems.The institute’s enrollment has been rising steadily and currently SLIIT has over 7000 students following its undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes.
